Buying/building my new rig this coming week and will be purchasing everything but an ssd and case from my local microcenter. Just looking to see if you guys have any advice as far as parts to get or if I could go cheaper without sacrificing performance.

Budget: 1500
Will be primarily used for gaming and possibly some video editing and streaming.
I'll be getting an operating system key from Another site.
im 100% going with an i7 6700k, everything else is subject to change.
I will be needing a monitor and keyboard but the keyboard can be purchased later if need be.

Looks good, but you're missing a case.

I've already purchased a fractal designs r5 and an 850 Evo ssd

i7 tick
Gtx 970 tick
144 hz monitor tick

I like

You dont really need to spend the extra $50 on fans.

I wasn't sure if the fractal design ones that came with the case were any good.
